Five Observations From Bengals September 1 Practice

Five observations from Bengals’ practice on September 1 centered on both personnel moves and returning players. Dohnte Meyers impressed again, with Zac Taylor praising his repeated playmaking on offense and special teams. The Bengals also added two offensive tackles: Blake Freeland to the practice squad and Myles Hinton to the 53-man roster, joining Javon Foster and Jalen Rivers as swing-tackle options. Dax Hill increased activity while recovering from a hamstring injury, and Taylor expects him ready for Tampa Bay. Josh Johnson returned to the practice squad after preseason work, and Taylor highlighted defensive-line depth as the biggest offseason improvement.
